The map said the rain forest wasn't far from here, a few days flight at the least. I could do that.
I thought the heat would slow me down, but it felt wonderful, and I noticed my scales were... different. They didn't change all the way but they did have hints of color almost everywhere along my body. It was great! And way better than the ice kingdom
After a few hours the sun started to rise and I was exhausted. I had flown all night from the ice kingdom and into the sand kingdom. I found a nice oasis and decided to camp there to get some rest and eat a little.
Once I was set up I laid down in the warm sand. It felt amazing on my scales and the sun made it so relaxing. I slowly started to drift off into oblivion...
"CRACK!" I woke up suddenly to a loud sound of a nearby stick breaking. "Gah!" I said startled I looked around "who's there!" I said willing my voice not to shake. No answer. "Sh-show yourself!" I got up and started to move towards the branch, holding a book as my only weapon. I saw a tail hidden in a bush and slowly but powerfully tapped it with my tail. "Aaaa" I heard avoided say from the bush as a dragon turned "aaaaa" I shrieked and hit the dragons head with a book repeatedly while screeching. "Ow! It's ok it's just me!" "Flurry!, Stop it's me" the dragon reached for my talon and held it as I stopped hitting the dragon, finally calming down. I looked at him. At him.
"Uggghhh!" I nearly was ready to thwack him again with my book, but settled for shoving him off of me and stomping back to my campsite. "So your stalking me now!?"
"Well not exactly-" polar started
I glared at him
"Well sorta... but it's not what you think! I just saw you take off all packed and I wanted to make sure you weren't going to run into trouble or any other dragons..." he said blushing only slightly
"Well your not some night in shining armor! I hate to break it to you!" I screamed tearing at the seams with anger, and other confusing emotions.
"Well you used to want me around! I miss that" polar said sounding upset and sad.
"Well that was when you were 'Polaris' not some prince who I never wanted to meet!"
He looked taken aback for a second and I could see I got under his skin with that. "Flurry look at me! I'm the same dragon! Polaris or polar I am. The. Same. Wether you like it or not"
"Not. Can't you see?! I trusted you I showed you my hideout you knew who I was but wouldn't even trust me enough to tell me who you really were!"
"You're... right." He sighed. "But I knew it wouldn't matter if you knew my actual name, you wouldn't have even talked to me if you knew."
He had a point, one I didn't want to admit "well you can go back to the ice kingdom now!"
"No" he said stubbornly
"What?!"
"I am staying here, with you, I'm your new bodyguard so get used to it" he said still hurt but smirking
The last thing I needed was a bodyguard... but it did almost feel nice to have some sort of Polaris back "fiiiiiine. But don't expect me to talk to you as much, and you have to catch your own food"
"Yes ma'am!" He said saluting and making me crack up a bit. I laid back down and he laid near me. Haha nope. Not happening.
"And you have to sleep over... here!" I said pushing him toward the other side of the campsite."
"Only if you can get me there!" He said laughing
"Humph" I gave up after a while and moved myself. There. And as I started to drift off he said "goodnight, flurry" and I thought I heard myself say "goodnight Polaris"
